BID Update - Latest on Road Closures and BID Management Review

Good Morning

ROAD CLOSURES LATEST

The BID board met on Tuesday and approved the appointment of a transport consultant to review the council’s approach to closing Dalby/Malago. A meeting was held on-site yesterday and we hope to have further substantiated ideas to take to the council to build our case for urgent initiatives to improve access to the area. We have also been informed by the council they are doing their own review of the road closure and will revert to us very shortly.

BID MANAGEMENT

It has been suggested that as the BID has been running for nearly nine years it would be good to review our procedures and possibly revise them. The BID has been asked to set out more details about how it is run, who makes the key decisions and who controls how money is spent. Feedback is welcomed in order that we can ensure we are meeting everyone's expectations.

If you have any thoughts or questions about improving the way the BID is run please contact Ben Barker at benbarker@blueyonder.co.uk after reviewing the attached document which sets out current practices:
